THE extensive business engage
ments how being made between
South California and Arizona, in
volving large freight transactions,
make the Interstate Commerce law
a matter of much interest, as it pre-
vents special rates to large shippers.
Section forbids any interstate car
rier to grant any rebate or drawback,
directly or indirectly, or to carry for
one for less rate than for another
But proviso is added, "for a like
and contemporaneous service in the
like kind OF traffic under substan-
TALLY similar circumstances and con-
ditions." The Commissioners in
their decision may decide what are
like and unlike circumstances and
conditions, and permit the railways
to make the rates as they please un-
der this section. 1t just amounts to
this-that the Commissioners and
the railways can arrange on defini-
ton of the term, "a like and contem-
poraneous service in the like kind OF
traffic under substantially similar Cir
cumstances and conditions, and
with harmony OF views can do as
they please, as before the passage OF
the bill. Angelenos who have in
vested heavily in Arizona can find
relief under Section 2 by getting a
favorable definition OF the above pro-
yiso.

Extensive Land Operations.

an astonishment to the northern por-
ton of the State. The sale of 900
acres by the San Fernando Land

OF capitalists for $150,0O0; OF the
adjoining $4,000 acres for $4,000,
and the 10000 acres alongside for
$500 900, with the Simi rancho lit

wrestling ON Horseback.

Samuel Matthews, the man who orig.
mated the contest of strength known as
wrestling on horseback, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday. On next Sunday at
Santa Monica he will engage in one OF
these unique struggles with Owen Davis.
1t will be for a purse offered by d. j.
Tobin, proprietor of the Santa Monica
baseball grounds. This is said to be a
sport most interesting and exciting and
at the same time rather dangerous. Both
men bring with them their horses and
equipments. Matthews saddle is a
beautiful affair, costing Sl75. He offers

himself or Davis after the match on Sun.

nobody can throw either OF them.

THE copper market bids fair for a
rise under the existing circumstances
in which the Calumet & Hecla Lake
Superior Company is placed. Their
large smelling plant has been de-
stroyed by the raging fires that have
recently devastated that region, and
although it is not long since the rom
pany we're reported to have placed
20,000,000 pounds of copper on the
market at 10 cents, the statement was
doubted; and now they may be at a
loss to fill their orders and contracts.
The Calumet & Hecla have con-
trolled the price of copper for
several years. Three years ago
they felt the force of a large copper
production in Arizona and other Ter
ritories, and having superior facilities
for production, they gradually re-
duced the price of that metal to its
present price. The smaller means OF
the young companies and their poorer
shipping facilities placed them abso-
lutely at the mercy OF this large COM
pany, and the mines in nearly every
district elsewhere Except the Arizo-
ma Copper Company at Clifton,
which is sustained by English capi-
tall were compelled to shut down
altogether. Ii the misfortune which
has just overtaken the Hecla &
Calumet Company, should result in
enabling the Arizona copper mines
to secure a better market and high
er price for their metal than could be
secured as long as the former COM
pany was in position to "hog'
both, We shall not feel disposed to
shed many tears. The prosperity Of
the copper mines in Arizona would
do much at the present time to help
our Territorial neighbors out of the
long period of depression, under
which they have languished.

in South California and their belief
that there will be a profit in their in
vestments, than volume OF articles
in favor of immigration to this sec
tion. There was time when these
articles were a necessity, but they
have done their work, wisely and
we'll, and capitalists have come in
and are developing in the most
remarkable manner. The old, old
cry of the oppression caused by the
ownership of large tracts of land has
ceased. All the great tracts of land
are being subdivided into lots to suit
the purse oil the purchasers. The
transfers of property recorded in Los
Angeles county aggregate $25O,OOO
per day mainly of country property.
AS showing that land is being alb
sorbed in small holdings by the peo-
pie, it may be stated that OF one OF
the tracts mentioned in the above
list-the 10000 acre tract purchased
for $500, ,000--more han$250, 900 worth
have been sold in small lots within a
week, and only a moderate portion of
the whole tract has been sold at that.
The crowd of buyers seems to con-
tinue unabated and the list of excur-
sions to Los Angeles is set for all the
summer, so that it is reasonable to
believe that the land boom will be
active during all the year and that
there will be no dull season in 1887.
